Dr. John Bates is an evolutionary biologist slash ornithologist and head of the life sciences division at the field museum in Chicago. He literally edited the book of eggs - his name is on the cover, like not an oologist. There are audio notes from that tour as we continued to just gab in the stacks. And there's some Easter bullshit and chicken hatching, even snake trivia. It's got it all.
This encore includes tons of previously cut and never-before-heard bonus material (and maybe an eggregious number of sidenotes) about how perfect and weird eggs are. The biggest eggs! The smallest eggs! The people arrested for stealing the most eggs! Oologist Dr. John Bates gives Alie a tour of the egg vault at the Field Museum of Chicago and it was a barrage of beautiful sights and shocking facts about bird butts. Get ready for speckly eggs, falcon tales, delicate treasures, snake nesting, pigeon mysteries, modern research with old artifacts, Easter trivia, and whether or not you can hatch chickens from grocery store eggs. Also the carnival ride Alie will never ever ever go on.
